Managed DNS
Your zone lives on our primary and is answered by all four nameservers. You manage it in the panel or over the API; we keep the infrastructure under it.
AvailableServices
Everything that belongs to a domain, from one house.
DNS is the core. Around it sits what a domain actually needs to work — certificates, mail, hosting, monitoring — all of it built and operated by CertThor PlatForms Ltd.
Authoritative DNS
The core service.
Secondary DNS
Keep your primary where it is and let our nameservers carry the zone as secondaries — transferred by AXFR and kept current by NOTIFY.
AvailableReverse DNS
PTR zones for IPv4 and IPv6 ranges you control, managed beside your forward zones. Needs the range delegated to our nameservers.
AvailableDynamic DNS
A token-protected update address for hosts whose IP changes, so a home office or a mobile gateway keeps a stable name.
PlannedYour own nameserver names
Answer under your own brand — ns1.yourdomain.tld and ns2.yourdomain.tld pointing at our machines, with the glue records set for you.
On requestDNSSEC
Zone signing with DS records published at the registrar. Being rolled out: a domain is signed once its move to CTPFDNS is complete.
Rolling outResilience
Answering under load and under attack.
Stated as it is: what runs today, and what is on the roadmap.
Four locations
Frankfurt, Amsterdam, London and Los Angeles. Every one of them holds the complete zone, so three can fail and the domain still resolves.
AvailableAnycast addressing
One address answered from the nearest location. Our spread today is unicast per site; anycast is on the roadmap, not in place.
RoadmapAttack filtering
Query floods and abusive sources are filtered in front of the nameservers by the same PowerFirewall that protects the rest of the platform.
CDPGuardGeoDNS
Different answers by the origin of the query, for splitting traffic between regions.
On requestDNS failover
A monitored target that is taken out of the answer when it stops responding, driven by the checks from UptimeRobot.org.
PlannedEnterprise terms
Named contacts, agreed response times and a written service level for businesses that need one.
On requestAround the domain
The rest of what a domain needs.
Registration and transfer
Domain registration and transfers are being set up as their own service under cdpdomain.com, so registration, DNS and hosting sit in one place.
cdpdomain.com — in preparationCertificates
Issuance and renewal handled by ControlDeskPanel, with the CAA record for your domain set at the same time.
AvailableMail and forwarding
Mailboxes, aliases, forwarding and webmail — with SPF, DKIM and DMARC published in the same zone and verified.
AvailableWeb hosting
Vhost, PHP pool, TLS, HSTS and HTTP/3 on our own servers, managed in the same panel as the zone.
AvailableUptime monitoring
Availability checked from outside, with status pages you can publish. Run on our own monitoring service.
uptimerobot.orgMigration
Zone exported from your current provider, rebuilt here, compared record by record, and only then delegated. Nothing is switched blind.
IncludedHow a move runs
Six steps, always in this order.
The delegation is the last step, never the first. That is the only way a domain never goes dark during a move.
- Zone at CTPFDNSThe domain is created here and every record is entered and checked.
- VhostWeb and mail hosts are prepared so the names actually answer.
- Switch at the registrarOnly now the delegation moves to our four nameservers.
- CertificateTLS is issued once the name resolves to us.
- HSTSStrict transport security is switched on after the certificate is live.
- HTTP/3Last step, once everything before it is verified.
Plans
Four plans, and the small one is free.
Every plan answers from all four nameservers and carries the same record standard. What grows is the volume, the protection and how clever the answer may be.
